Hi all, I am an EE and sometimes software developer who has wanted to contribute to KiCad for a while and finally might have some time to do things. I am kind of excited about UI/UX improvement possibilities, and have been compiling a list of things that I might want to work on at some point or at least just poke at to get familiar with the codebase.
I know a big refactor of eeschema is planned/in progress. Can the people working on that please advise whether it makes sense for me to work on any of the things in the following list, or if it would be likely to be wasted effort based on what will likely change in the refactor? - Improvements to wire / bus routing: several bugs here and also some wishlist items (H/V restriction working in drag mode, auto-connection/junction creation at points on a wire that aren't the endpoints, "intelligent autorouter" for schematic wires, fix wires after drag, etc) - Selection filtering (select anything vs. only components, wires, text, etc) - Color system improvements -- arbitrary color picker, color themes, etc. - Drag selection mode option -- select anything touching vs. select things completely enclosed by drag area Thanks, Jon
